Abstract
A method includes identifying child beams of a current composite beam. The method also includes determining an order at which the child beams of the current composite beam are measured based on a likelihood that each child beam of the current composite beam is an optimal beam, among the child beams, to be a serving narrow beam. The method also includes determining a threshold for use in deciding whether to measure one or more additional child beams or select an already measured child beam when selecting the optimal beam. The method also includes selecting the optimal beam, among the child beams, to be the serving narrow beam based on the determined order and the determined threshold.
